Goal Setting and How to Achieve them...

Easy with a sprinkle of positivity

We all want to achieve our goals but sometimes we feel we'll never get to pursue them. Or we get overwhelmed and decide against it. It takes a lot of motivation, support, consistency and focus to do it.

The Breakdown

Write down your goals for the year- you want to enter the 10k race, start a new hobby or want to improve your career

Write down monthly goals- you want to save a certain amount of money a month, declutter the house or meet with friends

Write down weekly goals- 10.000 steps a day, drink 2 litres of water a day, write down daily to do lists; the washing, the paper work you've not sorted, food prep, etc

Priority bubble (your name)

Brainstorm things that are important to you- family, friends, health, positivity, goals... although this task is similar to above, with this one you can see what is most important around you and it visually helps you to be more determined and productive to achieve your ambitions. By breaking it down this way you won't be feeling overwhelmed or in a mind fog.

Let me know how you get on

what's in Poppy's Easter basket | 2018 | toddler Easter treats |

Easter goodies for my Toddler

Always another holiday isn't there. I like to make Poppy a box for each special occasion throughout the year; Christmas eve box, Halloween trick or treat bag and Easter is no exception. This Easter i have gone for the more traditional items like my mum used to get us when we were little; books, stickers, chocolate egg, etc... I've not gone as over the the top as I usually do. We are also buying the stuff we know Poppy is really interested in, her favourite characters and bits she can interact with us on as well

The items in the box are not to have in one go, half of this is being used for her Easter egg hunt in the garden. We have gone for the play/learning items this year, she loves books at the moment and we read to her every night. As she enjoys it so much i decided to get her The Gruffalo £5.99 from Waterstones and the Peter rabbit sticker activity book £2 from the Works.

A pack of Bunny crayons £1 from Poundland, Peppa pig play cards £2 fro…

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter

What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy.

*Rooms*

Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc...

Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace

Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc...

Dining room- ( same as above)

Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply so dont throw away b…
